Trollstoy - 5 x Boomie Team

Here we are farming Felslate during the World Quest (shhhhhh, don't tell anyone about this).

Please tell me the lead character is named Karenina.

Felslate, World Quest, Suramar. I assume it's only doable during the WQ.

[Wubsie]

O.o That is absolutely insane. I'll have to keep an eye out of that quest.

I believe these mobs have only one Felslate in their loot table. If you loot them with five miners, you get five Felslates -_-
(Compared to the ones that spawn from deposits, up to 50 Felslate per mob)

[rapstar]

Whenever you mine one of them there's a chance of spawning a hostile one which holds 10 Felstate and is lootable by each of your toons (so 50 Felslate for me). They have an instant respawn so I just kept mowing them down for about 30 minutes or so. Got maybe 1-2K Felstone. Once you turn in the WQ though... they're gone.

Oh and lol @Succa for the Leo reference :)

IMO his best book was "War, what is it good for?" (Original title: https://youtu.be/qqS1Ty79mOE)

Yay! I was worried I was just making something out of nothing and no one would get it. Faith in humanity restored. Once had a girl on a dating site answer "What's your favorite book?" with "I read a lot of magazines." in a non-ironic fashion.

Ahh of course. I might start monitoring when that WQ is up, thanks for the heads up :)

How do you prevent yourself from turning it in? I've done this one before and it's nice when it spawns a felslate mob that you can loot for 10x felslate, but I had finished the quest in about 7 minutes.

I'm not sure which WQ we're actually talking about, but if you have your team in raid, you can't see/loot quest items and/or the progress bar doesn't .. uh.. progress, but the mobs are still there. Unless it's a WQ that you can complete in a raid..

[rapstar]

Hmm I didn't do anything special. Party not raid. They just kept spawning for me even after I hit the amount required.

It was when I went to do the living felslate quest nearby and came back later that they weren't spawning. I assumed it was because I turned something in (I use a modified autogear that completes quests, so often I don't even notice what I just completed!) or because the timer ran out on it...

I'll pay closer attention next time for sure.

This quest works in a raid the mobs hang around until the timmer on the wq goes i got a few k from them the other day. Kinda sucks in a raid as olny 5 will loot. And you can mine them for more felsteel.

Decided to run them as 5 x bear today in a Maw + 4 (sanguine). Only managed to 1 chest it though. Their damage is too low at my ilvl (860-870) and I decided to pull the fear + heal packs back just to be safe.

If I'd had a different affix I think it would have gone way faster. With the bears I'm pulling multiple packs, stacking thrash, and moving on before they die, so I'll be kiting 1-2 packs when I pull the next. It's pretty different and fun. Really doesn't work well with Sanguine though because you end up dropping 20 mobs in the same place.

Couple screens from running RF yesterday as Resto Druid x 5. TLDR; It's OP.

I got 2 MAW + 3 in the chests this week and ran them both today. The first one as 5 bears and got a 2 chest. The second as a trinity of 1 bear, 3 boomkins, and 1 resto. Only got a one chest as the trinity.

Maw+0 is diable as 4 boomies, but it's sketchy.

I'm a little disappointed, but not too surprised. Looks like bear x 5 is the way to go. Unfortunately unless mechanics allow me to do large multi pulls (no fear / heal mobs), their damage really slows me down. I'm going to focus on gearing them as bears for mythics and resto as offspec for occasional raids / RF.

As a tank team I feel like they're nearly as good as my pallies.
